Culture Dump #15: Has Streaming Killed the Cult Classic?

by Simon Bland

Halloween – That time of year where we celebrate our love of cult horror movies in place of whatever actual significance this spooky holiday originally held.

‘American Horror Story – Cult 7×08: Winter of Our Discontent’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

Watching American Horror Story: Cult it has been obvious that the show is, already, running out of steam. With a good set-up, the season had potential, and probably still has. If Winter of Our Discontent shows anything though, it is that it is starting to become a parody of its own self. If anything, this […]

‘Super Mario Odyssey’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Rupert Harvey

Who’d have thought it? Barely eight months since Breath of the Wild brought us the first game of the year contender, Nintendo has gone and done it again.
